Cut Your Cancer Risk: Several polyphenols — the potent antioxidants green tea's famous for — seem to help keep cancer cells from gaining a foothold in the body, by discouraging their growth and then squelching the creation of new blood vessels that tumors need to thrive.

Protect Your Skin: In the lab, green tea applied directly to the skin (or consumed) helps block sun-triggered skin cancer, which is why you're seeing green tea in more and more sunscreens and moisturizers.

There are more so read more.

Steady Your Blood Pressure: People who sip just half a cup a day are almost 50 percent less likely to wind up with hypertension than nondrinkers. Credit goes to the polyphenols again (especially one known as ECGC). They help keep blood vessels from contracting and raising blood pressure.

Protect Your Memory or Your Mom's: Aging adults who drink at least two cups a day are half as likely to develop cognitive problems as those who drink less. Why? It appears that the tea's big dose of antioxidants fights the free-radical damage to brain nerves seen in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

my mom owns a teahouse in NJ and we drink it every day. we drink it in the traditional teapots and the small cups. If I don't drink it for a day, I feel so greasy. Green tea has helped me lose weight and my skin is really clear because of it~
There are different levels of green tea depending on when the leaves are picked. The best one is called woo-jun. the leaves are picked when they are really small and its really pure. I recommend coffee drinkers to convert to tea. It will change your life~~~

Keep the water from being boiling hot, it needs to be cooler than that otherwise it will get bitter. You can find instructions if you google it. Also, there are several teas with flavor if it makes it more exciting. Or add mint leaves, lemon or cinnamon.

I drink it everyday! Yay for green tea. I add some red tea and seaweeds(just a tiny bit) to it too, to make it super healthy. I never add sugar, except for some honey to ginger or chai teas. I don't drink coffee, it's a migraine trigger for me, so tea it is! I've bought a couple of metal straws, the ones you get with lattes at fancy cafes, to keep tea stains away from my teeth, and it helps a lot. Also, buy Kusmi tea if you are in New York or Paris; it is pure heaven!

I love tea and I always like to drink a cup after lunch or dinner. But lately, after having read about the Ultimate Tea Diet (check it on Amazon) I have quit coffee and try to drink 5-6 cups of tea per day. Apparently you can also cook with it!!

I like the Good Earth brand or Lipton Honey Green Tea, both are really reasonably priced and taste delicious. If you want to spend a little more $ for a higher quality tea, the Mighty Leaf brand has a wonderful tropical green tea too. I go in spurts, I'll drink a couple cups a day and then get bored and switch to something else.
